Great Dojo! The staff is very knowledgeable and the techniques work. I have worked out in several Dojo's In the past and learned more in half the time here. No shade on the other Dojo's but i like learn thru actual combat not Katas. I love that fact that they spar almost every day! You can chose to spar hard or light. No katas only fighting!

I had been wrestling in my mind wether to join a gym like this for years based purely on fear, lack of confidence and belief in myself. Those thoughts grew larger as time has gone by. I joined after my first trial. I felt welcomed, i saw that what i needed was to just step in. The coaches are professional, patient and.stand up people. The other members have been nothing but pure class and through them i can see what i can achieve. The way kids are treated is endearing and i cant say enough. This School is dope 💯❤️🥋 Check out their you tube channel.

I'm a BJJ competitor visiting the area and stopped in for a class as a guest. This place is legit for BJJ. 1 hour with Coach Roger added an arsenal to my game. The gym has a friendly and encouraging feel but houses some killers on the mat. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a safe environment to learn self defense to consider this school.
